our investment and resources throughout
the region.

Korea
Praxair Electronics is one of the largest bulk gas suppliers
to semiconductor manufacturers in Korea. Through innovative design
and operational discipline, Praxair meets the stringent purity
and reliability of
the semiconductor industry.

To ensure a more reliable and cost-effective distribution of
process gases to semiconductor manufacturers in Korea, Praxair
Electronics has established local transfilling of various process
gases and mixtures. We also offer nitrogen trifluoride (NF3),
produced in Ulsan, Korea. Bulk process gas systems are offered
for high-volume process gases such as NF3, SiH4 and NH3.

Praxair Electronics manufactures sputtering targets
in Ch’onan, Korea to supply the Asia market. Our facility
in Ch’onan operates with ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 14001 certification, and produces targets
to the same materials specifications as targets produced by Praxair
in its Orangeburg, New York
and Toulouse, France facilities.
